Ever wondered what gives a small space that cohesive, that pulled together look. How do you make that small family room work for you? How do the designers do it? Very Simple! Small room - small furnishings. When you go out hunting for the perfect sofa, remember you don't always have to get a pair i.e sofa and a love seat. If you have a large space - maybe you want to consider getting a sofa, love seat and couple of chairs. But if you have small space - definitely skip the love seat instead get a pair of chairs. Its adds an interest to the room and takes it to a whole new dimension.

It all sounds good and its OK for the designers to do mixandmatch. But you are thinking, that chair and the sofa don't match - how will it ever look good :(. So sweeties, you just need to add some throw pillows with the chair color on the sofa. By adding a green-ivory color pillows on the sofa, not only has the decorator added the chair color but also added the wall color.Don't forget the black - (or deep brown) - Every room needs a little bit of black. Black highlights the space and gives it a focus. Here the deep brown coffee table draws your attention to the sofa.

And dress up those walls. Hang pictures with similar color palette. Voila! you've just created a perfect room to welcome your friends and for that matter, a perfect place to chill.
